In her wise and elegant new book, Jane Goodall blends her
experience in nature with her enthusiasm for botany to give readers
a deeper understanding of the world around us. Long before her work
with chimpanzees, Goodall's passion for the natural world sprouted
in the backyard of her childhood home in England, where she climbed
her beech tree and made elderberry wine with her grandmother. The
garden her family began then, she continues to enjoy today. SEEDS
OF HOPE takes us from England to Goodall's home-away-from-home in
Africa, deep inside the Gombe forest, where she and the chimpanzees
are enchanted by the fig and plum trees they encounter. She
introduces us to botanists around the world, as well as places
where hope for plants can be found, such as The Millennium Seed
Bank, where one billion seeds are preserved. She shows us the
secret world of plants with all their mysteries and potential for
healing our bodies as well as Planet Earth. Looking at the world as
an adventurer, scientist, and devotee of sustainable foods and
gardening-and setting forth simple goals we can all take to protect
the plants around us-Jane Goodall delivers an enlightening story of
the wonders we can find in our own backyards.
